I still can't remember the cathedral, I arrived Exeter at night and I think I didn´t see very much of it, I just remember the tandoori and a little walk downtown, that was 17 years ago and I guess my memory is not as good as I think... Yeah, that kind of English houses, I love them so much. I almost move in to a tiny one, it was all crooked, a house from the 13th century, in Avebury. It was ideal, it looked just like an ilustration from Arthur Rackham, but I figured out I just couldn´t find a way to take the matress up through the tiny stairs and had no room for my drawing board! I found a picture of it in Flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/richncorryn/940512680/sizes/l/ Thanks Cat!

It's right there by the pub where Sir Francis Drake used to have a pint or two. http://tinyurl.com/62gbjz And if you scroll down further, you'll see houses that made me think of yours. My flat is about ten minutes walking distance from the Cathedral. Rain. Wind. Snow. Sun. An easy ten minutes. If you head down into the town itself (the main shopping area), you can’t miss it.

I've been in Exeter and I can't remember no cathedral. I just can remember going to my first Indian restaurant there and not beeing able to think about or see anything else for the next few weeks. Aaaah! I love tandoory sooooo much! Cat!, that’s what Iban was saying in Spanish, he was talking about the Elisabethan houses in London and I was thinking of the ones in Chester and Glastonbury.

Whenever I go to Devon I like to walk around the Exeter Cathedral there to see what's left. The bombing in WW11 took out some of it. But there's enough left to get inspired.

Si no me equivoco tu estás refiriendo al edificio de Liberty's, es una pasada tanto por dentro como por fuera, aunque ahí yo solo he entrado "de mirón". Precisamente cuando escribía éste artículo me acordaba de las casas de Chester y de Canterbury. ¡Qué ciudades tan bonitas! @ Mark- I agree, the state of mind is everything. I never think I'm going to do my best work ever but very often I think it could be the last work I'll ever do and helps me to live the moment. @ Iban- Si, la arquitectura Isabelina también tiene un aire parecido.

@ Mark- I agree, the state of mind is everything. I never think I’m going to do my best work ever but very often I think it could be the last work I’ll ever do and helps me to live the moment.

'Half real, half impossible'- Yeah, me too. Thanks for including the photo resources, looking forward to checking them out. I like your post on perspective as well. Objectivity can be a challenge. My take on my own work will vary during the course of most projects-Some days I'll think, This is gonna be the best work I've ever done; others it's, Ah, I can't draw anymore lol :) So I've learned to remind myself that however good or bad I feel about the current state of whatever I'm working on, I'll probably feel less so tomorrow :) Thanks for stopping by my blog, and for the kind words- All the best!

Me encanta el estilo de arquitectura en la que te has inspirado. Las casitas de Bremen (por ejemplo) son preciosas. En Londres también sobrevive alguna casa de ese estilo; ahora me viene a la mente alguna de Fleet Street. Qué interesante que nos muestres el proceso y el origen de tus imágenes.
